A Bundibugyo Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo has reached more than 1,000 suspected cases and over 220 deaths within two weeks of its declaration — a faster trajectory than any previous Ebola epidemic. With no approved vaccine or treatment for the Bundibugyo strain, armed groups controlling key territory, health workers under attack, and the response struggling to match the pace of transmission, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus visited the epicenter in Bunia on May 30, 2026, as MSF warned the situation is "deeply alarming."
